A race against the clock. :think Has there been anything said on the record by Klitschko about how long he plans on going before packing in?
Wlad vs Chisora is long overdue. Fury beat Chisora & if he beats him again he deserves a crack at Wlad. The winner facing Povetkin is just a side-step and not just rewards for title eliminators. Povetkin had his chance, he failed, Pulev did, he failed. Have them face off in a title eliminator for the right for a rematch. It'll be a new scrap and will be entertaining.
I am. Probably most are as well. The only thing that changes in a Wlad-Povetkin 2 fight is AP gets annihilated. I'd rather see something which is a bit different such as: 1) Unification (Stiverne vs. Wilder winner) 2) Fury (Tallest and heaviest fighter has ever fought) 3) Jennings (Potential U.S. fight)
From a boxing standpoint alone I think Povetkin has the best all round game without question. Its just styles make fights and Povetkin's style don't work against Wlad. Chisora is a different style to the boxers like Pov and may cause Wlad problems. Fury is bigger than Wlad, has decent boxing skills himself and is the stronger of the two? If Wlad beats these different styles it makes his resume look better than merely going over old foes. Both fighters might get knocked out in rd 1. Wouldn't put it past Wlad after the other night. Still, give me new fights rather than old ones. Like, Pov vs wlad 1 was a stinker? Why would anybody want to see that **** again?
Getting knocked down by a former Cruiser-weight champion makes Tyson Fury ****? What does going 12 round with a Cruiserweight in a close match up make Povetkin then? :/
Pulev vs Povetkin, the winner gets the rematch. :good:good thats what boxing should be about. Find out who is number 2 and then they have the right to challenge number 1 again.
Pulev isn't going to want a rematch, mate. He would probably rather wait until Povetkin gets his rematch to see if A) Wlad falls off any due to age B) Povetkin can pull the upset and he can fight Sascha for the belts.
Champion Wladimir K. 1. Povetkin 2. Fury 3. Stiverne 4. Pulev 5. Jennings That is based on recent accomplishment. I would drop Fury to fifth on ability but up until the Haye fiascos with him pulling out I thought Fury's team were doing a brilliant job of bringing him along. 6. Glazkov 7. Takam 8. Cunningham 9. Chagaev 10. Joseph Parker
That's fair. He slipped my mind 8 or 9 would be fine for him. Looking forward to this wkend should be a good scrap.
Yer, both in good condition this time round. No excuses. Chisora has looked great since Haye. Fury keeps improving too. Should be slightly different from their first encounter. Picking Fury by knock-out. I think Chisora might drop Fury a few times though.
